B L workshop manual states 40 lb. ft. for cylinder head stud nuts. I think some people use a slightly higher figure (45 or 50?). Check after 100 miles.
25 lb. ft. for the rocker bracket nuts, 4 lb. ft. for the rocker cover nuts and 15 lb. ft. for the manifold to cylinder head.
If you tighten diagonally from the centre front to back that should be o.k.
